Customized Sharps Management
for Your Clinic Or Studio
Effective needle disposal requires more than just a bin; it requires a strategy that adapts to the physical layout and traffic of your workspace. We recognize that the risk profile of a high-volume surgical center differs significantly from a public-access washroom or a boutique tattoo studio. Cobalt specializes in engineering sharps containment programs that are precisely calibrated to your facility's specific injury-prevention goals — serving Calgary, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and communities across Alberta.
From addressing a backlog of accumulated containers through a one-time sweep to establishing a recurring exchange service that scales with your usage, we adapt our logistics to your reality. By tailoring our collection frequency and container sizes to your actual needs, we ensure your staff and the public are protected from accidental needle-sticks while maintaining a lean, cost-efficient disposal budget.
What’s Included in Our Sharps Service
01
Premium Puncture-Resistant Containers
We supply various sizes of containers that meet or exceed CSA and provincial safety standards.
02
Secure Wall Mounts
& Brackets
To ensure safety at the "point of use," we provide mounting hardware to prevent accidental spills or tampering.
03
Proactive
Exchange Schedule
We swap full containers for fresh ones on a timeline that prevents overfilling—the leading cause of needle-stick injuries.
Strategic Placement & Risk Consulting
Safety starts with where a container is located. We consult with your team to understand your facility, precisely identifying various waste streams to ensure proper segregation.
By optimizing container placement at the point of use, we streamline your staff's workflow and maximize floor space. Our consulting ensures that containers are accessible for clinical staff but secure from unauthorized access, significantly reducing the risk of accidental exposure or cross-contamination.
Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions. We have answers. If you don't find what you are looking for here, contact us directly.
Do we have to buy the containers separately?
No. As part of our service, we provide the puncture-resistant containers. We can also provide permanent wall-mounting systems to keep containers off countertops and out of the reach of children or unauthorized personnel.
What exactly counts as "Sharps"?
Anything that can puncture or cut the skin should go in your sharps container. This includes needles, syringes with needles attached, lancets, scalpels, razor blades, and broken glass vials.
How high should we fill the containers before they are replaced?
For safety, sharps containers should never be filled beyond the "Full" line (usually about 75% to 80% capacity). Overfilling containers is the most common cause of needle-stick injuries.
Can we put regular trash or non-sharp biohazard waste in these containers?
No. To keep your disposal costs low, sharps containers should be reserved exclusively for sharps. We will consult with your team to help differentiate your waste streams effectively.
